raymond___k_osmotherly Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I have a Beseler 4x5 enlarger with colour head which I obtained second hand. It came without cooling fan and tubing. I am hoping to makeup such a set-up using a small exhaust fan and swimming pool hose. I can not find out whether the fan is intended to draw away hot air from the light source or whether it blows cool air into the light source. I suspect the former is correct (sucks air out)but would be grateful if a Beseler user could confirm this. Without the fan the light overheats and shuts down until it is cool again - most annoying!Many thanksRay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_hicks___ Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 The fan sucks air through the head and out. It's a rather powerful fan, noisy, far stronger than the usual muffin fan, about the same as a fan used for a vacuum easel in the graphic-arts industry.

john_hicks___ Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 > Vacuum easel; Ya that's the ticket. Yep, we all need one. I spent so much time hearing the fan on the stat camera my ears are still ringing. BTW..perhaps I should clarify...the Beseler fan is in a metal box about 10 inches square or so, with a non-collapsible hose running from it to the head. The thing's so loud ideally it should be in another room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
